Description

Eating is more than just feeding the body. The time for a meal is the time to unite the community around a table and share. The taste of food can evoke feelings and memories such as longing, joy and contemplation. Knowing this, writers have always used food as a subject in their works, to metaphorize feelings and thoughts.
The critic August Nemo selected seven short stories by great authors who mixed literature and cuisine. Enjoy!


- A Piece of Steak by Jack London
- Gooseberries by Anton Chekhov
- A Dinner by Alexander Kielland
- The New Food by Stephen Leacock
- White Bread by Zona Gale
- Witches' Loaves by O. Henry
- Tea by Saki
